Overload Proof Single Point Load Cell - S300

Click image for larger view

 

The S300 load cell is a low profile, bi-directional, single point OEM load cell which has an integral overload stop in both tension and compression.  The unique design allows the load cell to be used as a platform sensor or as a tension or compression load cell for in-line force measurement purposes.  Ideal for medical instruments, force gages, automation equipment, and other weighing and force measurement applications.

A 10,000 Ω wheatstone bridge and thin-film strain gauge provide extremely low power consumption as well as unmatched long term stability.  The flexure design allows minimal errors from off center loads.
